Motorists are being advised to travel with care in the Western Bay of Plenty as resurfacing works on the state highways start next week.

Resurfacing works on State Highway 2, between Tanners Point Road and just north of Tuapiro Road, will start Monday.

Motorists are being asked to drive carefully as road works are completed in the Western Bay of Plenty.

A second coast of chipseal is being applied to sections of two state highways next week.

The NZ Transport Agency says a second coat of chipseal is being applied to about 500 metres of the highway.

The work will start at 9am and until 4pm to minimise disruption to traffic.

'A temporary speed restriction of 30 km/h will be in place along with manual Stop/Go traffic management throughout the duration of the work which is expected to be completed by 4pm that day,” says the NZTA.

Works along State Highway 36, between Williams Road and Taumata Road, will start on Tuesday and will continue until Wednesday.

A second coat of chipseal is being applied to about 1800 metres of the highway.

A temporary speed restriction of 30 km/h will be in place along with manual Stop/Go traffic management throughout the duration of the work which is expected to be completed by 6pm each day.
